Abstract:

Backgrounds: Accidents and injuries are among the main causes of disability and mortality and are regarded as public health problems. Considering the importance of this subject, the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and trend of accidents and injuries in Kurdistan Province. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Kurdistan Province, between 2010 and 2014. Data were extracted from national road traffic, injuries and accident databases. Data analysis was performed by using Stata 12. Results: The findings of this study showed that the highest incidence rates of accidents and injuries belonged to the individuals between 20 and 29 years of age, and was two times higher in men than in women. We found a decreasing trend in the incidence rates of accidents and injuries between 2010 and 2013, and an increasing trend in 2014. Also, trauma showed a significant decreasing trend from 2010 to 2014, while the number of burn cases increased by four times between 2013 and 2014. Moreover, we found a fourfold increase in the number of suicide cases between 2010 and 2013 with a decreasing trend in 2014. Conclusion: Results of this study suggested that accident-related injuries were most prevalent among male young adults, and road traffic injuries had the greatest impact on these individuals. Thus, appropriate plans should be designed to decrease the prevalence of RTAs among young adults.
